Sony Semiconductor (CMOS Image Sensors)
~50% CMOS image sensor share; edge-AI sensing
Sony holds roughly half the global CMOS image sensor market and supplies the cameras that feed physical-world AI — autonomous driving, robotics, smartphones, and its IMX500 intelligent-vision sensor with on-chip AI inference. As embodied/physical AI and robotics scale, Sony's sensors are the dominant sensory front end, and it is also a Rapidus investor. This is a critical edge-AI data-generation node generic maps omit.
